iPad

iPad is an iOS-based line of tablet computers built around the device's multi-touch screen, including a virtual keyboard. The iPad includes built-in Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity on select models. An iPad can shoot video, take photos, play music, and perform Internet functions such as web-browsing and emailing. Other functions – games, reference, GPS navigation, social networking, etc. – can be enabled by downloading and installing apps.

Adding new devices to mobile device management (MDM) systems is never as easy as the advertising claims. After adding 130+ iPads to an enterprise system, I have at least gotten it down to a manageable number of steps producing a reliable result. It can be done, but it is neither simple or easy.

Sometimes when I'm using my iPad, one of my apps will start acting weird or it just stops working. After reading articles and finding solutions on my own, I decided to share solutions I have found helpful.

HDR photos are the same size as a normal photo, they're just enhanced so they shouldn't affect storage unless you keep the original as well.

Even selecting optimized photo roll will use space on your phone. It's just that the phone will modify the size of the cache according to how much space there is available on your device. e.g. on my Android, Google Photos has a 500mb cache.

You wont need to buy extra storage for Google Drive, becuase Google Photos has an option for unlimited storage, so this does count against your default Google Drive space.

If you choose to backup your Whatsapp media (Photos, Videos, Voicenotes, GIF's) this way, you can still backup your chat database to icloud, in your whatsapp settings, you can choose to backup chats without videos, so you wont use up your up your icloud storage space, by duplicating videos already backed up with Google Photos.

Google Photos also has an assitant to help you remove media on your device that has already been backed up, this is optional, but helpfull if you need to recover storage space on your device. You will need a data connection or wifi access to access your media files, or just choose for offline access for selected media files.

Short answer to this question: there is no effective WiFi manager in iOS devices as seen in Windows WiFi or Macbook OSx WiFi management, but this article will try and provide some amicable solutions to better suite your needs.

I chose the title to fit what people will probably search for. Sometimes the solution is, there is no solution, but there are feasible work arounds.

There is a security feature on iOS devices that is nearly impenetrable when it has been activated. This article will provide some possible solutions as well as necessary steps to take to ensure you do not end up with a locked device.

Great article. At my work, I inherited an iPhone from a former employee who had set up their personal account on there and Apple refused to do anything to help us even through we owned the phone. I had to go through several people to track down the former employee via Facebook and talk her into resetting the password so I could unlock the phone.

Thanks, William. That sounds like an awful route to have to take to recover a company owned phone, but at least it worked! Hopefully more folks are able to learn about this issue and prevent it from happening in the future.

What's a UDID?

If you're involved in developing, testing, or even reviewing an iOS application that's in beta, then at some point you may need to know the UDID for any iOS devices that you'll be testing on. What's the UDID? It stands for Unique Device Identifier, and much like it sounds, is a unique identifier for each and every iOS device. Knowing this number is crucial for granting a specific device permission to run an app that's still in development and not yet released to the public. This way, developers can ensure that their unreleased apps aren't ending up on devices they shouldn't!

OK, I've Just Been Asked for Mine

Great! Let's assume you've been invited as a beta tester for some cool new app. (Lucky you!) The developer has asked you for your iPhone or iPad's (or even an iPod Touch's) UDID so that they can set the provisioning profile that'll allow your device to run the beta version of their app. It's easy. Here's what you do:

Step 1: Connect Device to Computer

Connect the device to a computer that's running iTunes. Ideally, you've already got a computer that you synchronize with or backup your iDevice to. Use that one. (If not, then you'll need to get iTunes on a system that you can attach the device to. Just head over to http://www.apple.com/itunes/ to get the iTunes installer. It's ok, I'll wait.)

iPad in the Business – Quick Start Part 1

Getting Started with Active Sync Mail

Many people seem to have issues connecting their iOS device to their company Exchange Server and this article covers the steps for Active Sync configuration as well as a few tips and tricks from someone that worked with a high powered team with various expectations. In this particular case I used an iPad 2 running iOS 6.1.3 against a MS Exchange 2007 SP3 server but the instructions are universal.

Please note that I am not covering Good, Iron Mountain or the providers of the sandpit environments.

Before you proceed, you will need your username and password for the company system, the server and domain details for the connection and been granted access to Active Sync by your System Admin Team. Keep in mind that nuts and bolts are the same but companies often have enrollments to such services. Those in smaller businesses may not have these headaches.

2. Complete the boxes are details in the screenshot below and tap done. Please note that you may not be prompted for all of the information if your company has an auto-discovery configured.
3. Assuming the information is correct, you will then have the option to select which items you wish to synchronize.

There are many out there who own an iPad but are frustrated by the lack of Flash support. This prevents many webpages from displaying their content correctly on the iPad . In addition Flash games are not supported on the iPad either. Regardless of your views regarding the future of Flash or the alternatives such as html5 that are available, Apple has made it clear that Flash support is not in the future for the iPad (http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/). So if you own an iPad and want to experience Flash, what are your options?

Of course you can get by without Flash but there will be some websites that just won’t display well. Here are some ways to view Flash content on your iPad:

The first approach requires you jailbreak your iPad. Then you are able to install an application called ‘Frash.’ This will allow Flash content to play in the Safari browser on the iPad. But there are alternatives for those who do not want to go through the trouble (or risk) of the jailbreak. Most of these options utilize some version of a VNC or remote desktop.
Using one of the available remote desktop apps you can basically run your PC, Mac or Linux machine remotely on your iPad and use the native browser on your computer for the flash. This requires a VNC program such as VNC Viewer ($9.99) or TeamViewer (free for …
